Will it rain today, some say yes, others say no

Controversy is striking over when the chance of rain will come toward San Antonio.

The National Weather Service forecasts a chance of rain later in the week, while other “media meteorologists” say it just might rain Tuesday.

NWS forecaster Pat McDonald said activity is showing up in the Brownsville area and may move toward Victoria, but it looks pretty confined to the coast.

Even without the rain Tuesday, San Antonio is looking at a high of about 95 for Tuesday and Wednesday because of the high pressure that's been dominating the extreme hot weather that slowly is shifting to the north, and this is allowing a weak area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico to move to the west.

“Let's keep our fingers crossed, and hopefully for the next three or four days, we can see some rain, but we're not expecting any of this (rain) drifting into San Antonio until Friday or Saturday,” McDonald said.
